Do you have to do anything to the soil? I planted two of these on a bank with very rocky, dry soil. I WANT them to take over!

Oenothera	The pale pink, four-petaled, cup-shaped flowers look delicate, but don't be fooled -- this plant is very invasive. I keep it in my garden because the flowers are lovely and bloom in masses for a long time in May and June, then intermittently all summer. This was one of the first plants I tried and I picked it because I wanted something to spread quickly -- four yea...	Ratings overall n/a how easy   10 flower 10 foliage 5 propagate 10 fragrance n/a

	The evening primrose can be used as a tough, fast spreading groundcover. It spreads by runners and seeds and can be invasive in the garden.

Oenothera speciosa--Wild primrose	Such an easy plant (U.S. native, too), one look at the picture will tell you it's quite a looker, and all you gotta do to get more is crack open a pod and let the seeds fall...and yet if it weren't pretty it would be called a weed. Here in Alabama, the wild ones will literally grow in cracks in the pavement and bloom beautifully.	Ratings overall 7 how easy   10 flower 10 foliage 5 propagate 10 fragrance n/a
